Abstract

Two genera, Acropsilus and Chrysotimus (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), and 14 species are recorded for the first time from Taiwan. One species of Chrysotimus is described as new from Taiwan. A key to the genus Chrysotimus species from China is presented.

There are only 1 genus and 4 species of Peloropeodinae in Taiwan even though 39 genera and 170 species of Dolichopodidae are recorded worldwide (Yang et al. 2011). Here we present 2 first-record genera of Peloropeodinae, Acropsilus and Chrysotimus, and also several first-record species of Diaphorinae and Sympycninae from Taiwan. Two species of these genera broaden their distribution range to the Oriental Region.

The genus Chrysotimus is distributed worldwide—except the Afrotropical Region—with more than 70 known species, of which 14 species are known from the Palaearctic (Negrobov 1991) and 25 species from the Oriental Region (Dyte 1975; Yang et al. 2006, 2011; Wang et al. 2012). This paper deals with a new species of Chrysotimus from Taiwan, Chrysotimus taiwanensis sp. nov., and presents a key of the genus in China.

Materials and Methods

The specimens used in this study were collected by different collectors with sweep nets in Taiwan from 2007 to 2011. Specimens were studied and illustrated under a Zeiss Stemi 2000–c stereo microscope. Genitalie preparations were made by macerating the apical portions of the abdomens in warm 10% NaOH for 17–20 min, examining them, transferring them to 75% ethanol, and individually storing each of them in a micro-vial pinned below the corresponding specimen. Most specimens are deposited in the Entomological Museum of Chinese Agricultural University (CAU), China, except some are deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Belgium.

Abbreviations are as follows: acr = acrostichal bristles, ad = anterodorsal bristles, av = anteroventral bristles, d = dorsal bristles, dc = dorsocentral bristles, LI = fore leg, LI I = mid leg, LIII = hind leg, oc = ocellar bristles, pd = posterodorsal bristles, pv = postero ventral bristles, v = ventral bristles, CuAx ratio = length of m-cu / length of distal portion of CuA.

  • ETYMOLOGY

  • REMARKS

  • This new species is similar to Chrysotimus xuae Wang, Yang & Grootaert by the brown hairs and bristles on thorax, and the furcated surstylus, but may be separated from the latter by the 7–8 short and black ventral bristles on hind tarsomere 1 base, and the cercus with acute apex. In xuae, there are 15–16 short and black ventral bristles on hind tarsomere 1 base, the cercus has no distinct acute apex.
